Hello! Yesterday i started to play DotA 2 and i was curious to learn about changes from old one. I searched and found them until now and i wanted to share you with you. As i read more changes will take place in following days, so i will try to update it as soon as i learn them.

Lets see:


Misc Changes


[*] You can resell items within the first ten seconds for full price.

[br]

[*] Bottle 40px-Bottle.png can be filled with another rune even when full.

[br]

[*]A Bottle with a rune 19a25w_th.png in it is no longer a shareable item (in DotA it could not be used anyway).

[br]

[*] AI practice bots.

[br]

[*] Manabars on allies

[br]

[*] Crystal Maiden's Frostbite 2j632hl_th.png cannot freeze the enemy's fountain

[br]

[*] Crystal Maiden's Frostbite 2j632hl_th.png works on Batrider using firefly a9pr7t_th.png

[br]

[*] Fountain 21dhf7k_th.jpg cannot be attacked

[br]

[*] Hotkeys are customizable

[br]

[*] Phase Boots 40px-Phase_Boots.png do not prevent Skull Basher 40px-Skull_Basher.png, Monkey King Bar40px-Monkey_King_Bar.png, or items that grant Critical Strike from procing

[br]

[*] Skills can be leveled up while dead

[br]

[*] Hero can no longer be deselected (except for selecting other controllable units, such as Couriers or pets)

[br]

[*] Item shops are condensed (there are now only the main shop, side lane shops, and secret shops)

[br]

[*] Orb Effects are called Unique Attack Modifiers.

[br]

[*] Quelling Blade 40px-Quelling_Blade.png now works with Unique Attack Modifiers. (Also works on Kunkka)

[br]

[*] Control Groups now save between summons for summoned minions (even when they die)

[br]

[*] Cooldowns Cooldown_icon.png on abilities now show time left in seconds

[br]

[*] Items and many heroes have entirely new lore.

[br]

[*] Mjollnir 40px-Mjollnir.png ,  Maelstrom 40px-Maelstrom.png currently stack with other Unique Attack Modifiers, overriding them on proc.

[br]

[*] Orb of Venom 40px-Orb_of_Venom.png is now a Unique Attack Modifier

[br]

[*] Eye of Skadi 40px-Eye_of_Skadi.png (both ranged and melee versions) will now work with items that grant Lifesteal, but are both Unique Attack Modifiers.

[br]

[*] Phase Boots 40px-Phase_Boots.png can use in conjunction with Batrider using firefly a9pr7t_th.png.

[br]

[*] Most skills now stack. For example, skills that apply the common 30% MS 20% AS slow: Crystal Maiden, Lich, Jakiro; also Chen 's Penitence m75qg2_th.png with Night Stalker 's Void 2hfnms4_th.png.

[br]

[*] Extending the previous point, many skill and item interactions that existed due to its hard-coded nature don't exist any more. For example, Ghost Scepter 40px-Ghost_Scepter.png doesn't remove Poison Nova 33kagkp_th.png.

[br]

[*] Bonus damage from Shadow Blade 40px-Shadow_Blade.png is affected by built in crits from heroes such as Juggernaut

[br]

[*] Bashes damage type and stun type doesn't depend on the range of the hero (used to be magical damage / physical stun on melee and the opposite for ranged). Instead, it depends on the source of the bash. Skills from heroes work like in DotA1, Monkey King Bar 40px-Monkey_King_Bar.png gives magical stun and damage, and Skull Basher 40px-Skull_Basher.png works like melee.

[br]

[*] Monkey King Bar 40px-Monkey_King_Bar.png gives uphill true strike against buildings, unlike DotA1 where true strike is a x1.0 crit and doesn't work on buildings.

[br]

[*] Damage from multiple Monkey King Bars 40px-Monkey_King_Bar.png stack if they proc at the same time. It doesn't override any other on-hit effect either

[br]

[*] Fountain Hook jsluuw_th.png with Chen msg855_th.png does not work in Warcraft Dota

[br]

[*] Luna's Moon Glaive osslqb_th.png no longer has strange interactions with various orbs and critical strike effects and will not break on acquiring them or proccing them.

[br]

[*] Rubick's Spellsteal 20t43nr_th.png now works on all abilities, whereas engine limitations prevented Rubick from stealing many skills in DotA. In Dota 2, there is no text above Spellsteal's projectile telling which spell was stollen.

[br]

[*] Spirit Breaker's Charge of Darkness i2qanb_th.png is not interrupted by items like Black King Bar or Shadow Blade.

Buff Placers


[*] Buff Placers refer to a group of Items in DotA that applied a buff to a Hero's attacks. Typically, they were also Orb Effects. Unlike Orb Effects, which do not stack for balance reasons, the Warcraft 3 engine was limited in that it only allowed one buff to be applied per attack. This meant that Buff Placers did not stack. In Dota 2, however, Buff Placers will now stack with each other. For example, Venomancer's Poison Sting 2wmdicm_th.png will now stack with Desolator 40px-Desolator.png, even though both of them were Buff Placers in DotA.
